Description
Artist Erica Pollock isn't the first to be impressed by the gorgeous landscape of Carmel, California, but she certainly makes it her own with this inspired piece. Her impressionistic rendering of a tree and cart conveys life in movement using a vibrant color palette and a heavy impasto paint application. The custom frame is black with a gold inner trim, and measures 21 1/2 x 30 inches overall.
Special Instructions
This is an oil on canvas over masonite. The bright yellow-green foreground is the most freely done, and the brush work gets tighter as the image recedes to the background. The mountains in the background are lovely shades of lavender and pink. The subject and style are reminiscent of Van Gogh, with that kind of energy imparted to a normally static scene. The artist's signature is inscribed in the thick paint on the bottom left-hand corner in an unusual manner. This took Honorable Mention in the 2-D category of the WSKG 2007 Art Auction Competition. .
